The problem of the origin of life is virtually ignored by almost every FR evolutionist. It is not a separate question.

On a previous thread Dimensio wrote:

I submit five hypothesis regarding the origin of the first life forms.

a) Natural processes occurring entirely upon earth resulted in chains of self-replicating molecular strands that eventually became the first life forms.

b) Aliens from another planet and/or dimension travelled to this planet and -- deliberately or accidentally -- seeded the planet with the first life forms.

c) In the future, humans will develop a means to travel back in time. They will use this technology to plant the first life forms in Earth's past, making the existence of life a causality loop.

d) A divine agent of unspecified nature zap-poofed the first life forms into existence.

e) Any method other than the four described above led to the existence of the first life forms.

From a post by Dimensio here.

Evolution can proceed, after life begins, no matter which of these five scenarios took place. Attempts to say the theory of evolution can't be accurate, because the specific method for the origin of life is unknown, are false.

Indeed. It seems creationists are unable to separate the dynamics of a system from its origins.
Or at least they seem to be "unable" to do so wrt life.
